At one o’clock last afternoon, in the
Superior Court, Judge James Johnson
announced that the time bad arrived for
hearing the report and resolutions on the
death of Judge Marshall J. Wellborn.
COL. A. B. CHAPPELL
arose and stated that he and Judge Well
born hod been intimate friends for years.
They first met iu Haris county in 1828.
He bad practiced law with and under him.
The report which he was about to read
was based upon tlie character of the de
based as it was impressed upon him
during the long period of personal friend,
ship. He then read the following
REPORT OF THE COMMITTER.
The Committee, consisting of Messrs.
A. H. Chappell, Martin J, Crawford, Gns-
tavus Delaunay, Henry L. Banning and
Lemuel T. Downing, who were appointed
by a meeting held the day after tho death
of the Hon. Marshall J. Wellborn
which meeting Ilis Honor,Judge Johnson,
and a number of the members of the bar
were present—beg leave, in discharge of
the mournful office assigned them, to re
port the following tribute to the memory
of our distinguished brother, so recently
and suddenly taken away.
Our departed brother was bound to us
long aud intimately by ties of great per
sonal and professional lovo and esteem.
What be was in ail his elements of mind
and character and in all tho relations, pri
vate and public, of his pure, honorable
aud well spent life,is too well known alike
iu tbe community at large, and iu the
wide circle of the whole bur of Georgia,to
make it needful to enter upon any lu-
bored rehearsal in regurd to him on tho
present occasion. Long will he live fresh
and familiar, and l>e proudly and affec
tionately cherished in the bosoms of all,
especially of his professional brethren.
But yet in addition to such remeniherauco
closing years were pervaded by a heavenly very temple of justice, where we are now

Resolved, That we cherish with pride
and affection tho memory of the virtues,
the talents, tbe learning, and merits, and
the distinguished snd useful career of our
deceased brother, tbe Honorable Marshall
J. Wellborn, and in testimony thereof, we
lay this tribute on his grave, and ask that
it may be spread upon the minutes of this
court.
Resolved also, That we deeply condole
with his kindred and relations in their great
bereavement, and that the clerk be di
rected to transmit a copy of those pro
ceedings to his nephew, the Honorable
John T. Clark, to be received by him in
his own and their behalf.
Cob Chappel moved the adoption of the
report.
JUDGE PORTER tNQRAM
stated, in substance, he had known tlie
deceased forty years, having become ac
quainted with him in 1830, and wus par
ticularly attached to him. Judge Well
born had then jnst removed to Columbns,
leaving in Harris a good name and repu
tation. He was a good law} or, and an
honest man, in whom every one had con
fidence. lie was ever ready to uid young
lawyers by kind words and assistance.
The speaker owed him much for tho un
failing courtesy and favor he bad extend
ed to him when entering on his profes
sion. Twenty-ono years ago the speaker
removed to Columbns. The coleiuport-
ries of the deceased at the bar at that
time were giants in intellect, and the de
ceased held his own among them. Only
twenty-one short years ago, and many of
them sleep in the graveyard with Judge
Wellborn. He could recall tho uatuos of

The Zoo Combination Company will
ntppear in Columbus next week. M'llo
Zoe is said to be a lino actress, and there
which we ever held him, some token of
tbe grief which we feel at his loss from
earth. For his whole career—from bud
ding young manhood to the grave—iden
tified him with this city and this section
of tho Htate through A period of more
than forty-six years. Thither from hfs
native—Puturm—county he caiuo e’re lie
had attained full age, and settled in tho
neighboring county of Harris early in
1828 when the country was yet new and
wild, the county scurcely organized, und
its Court house an exceedingly smull, rude
log structure. Young as he wus he
brought with him to those woods, soon to
becomo tho seat of civili/.utiou, cnlturo
and wealth, qualifications that at once
gave high promiso for him 'in tho noble
and arduous profession on which ho im
mediately entered. How rapidly ho suc
ceeded from his very outset ami rose to
populority und a fine practice, there are
those still living who onu attest. He lit
erally grow and kept puce with tho coun
try in which ho hud cast liis lot, aud
which proved not more propitious as a
field for the oulerprising husbandman,
who throngod to it from fur and near,
than favorable as a theatre to him for lim
professional pursuits. But the happy lo
cation he had chosen nvuh a smull
matter compared with tho advantages
ho had within himself—virtue, tulouts,
industry, high enthusiasm, a noble ambi
tion, good previous preparation for tho
bar, to which his intellectual make ami
tastes were singularly adapted. For he
loved the law intensely as n study aud as n
mental occupation, and mastered and en
joyed it alike as a science utul hb a busi
ness, taking delight in its investigations
and reasonings and iu its uppliuutious to
the affuirs aud interests of men. Aud
greatly was his ploaNuro in it increased
when he oatne at length to trace its eter
nal and expansivo principles up to tho
throue of God, and to fiml in them a vital
kindred to ull righteousness und justice.
It was this almost religions scutiment
which a mind remarkable for its fine
moral feeling and conscientiousness ear
ned into legal researches, that rendered
the bar, although he adorno i it, less con
genial, on tho whole, to him, than the
ironch, which for aserics of years ho tilled,
aud was felt by all to grucu and honor.
Nor in politics, either, did ho find himself
so much in his proper homo as in tho ju-
dioiul sphere, though he acquitted him
self with reputation aud up to the highest
standard of representative duty both in
our State Legislature and iu tho Congress
of the United States.
Whilst yst a youug man, enjoying a
rapidly growing reputation aud prospects,
bo changed his residence from Hamilton
to this city. Here it was thut ho reached
that pinaolo in his profession on which he
loug stood auioug us. I lore he attained
to the judicial honors which he no wor
thily and acceptably wore. Heuce, also,
through popular favor and appreciation,
he found his way to a seat in the national
Legislature, and here, too, ho prospered
so greatly in his affairs as to accumulate
that handsouio competency which enabled
him to take a loug respite from the labors
and avocations of business, both public
and private, and to travel extensively in
his own and foreign countries. But this
long pastime of elegant and high-senson-
ed enjoyment aud recreation did not spoil
him or muasoulate his miud, habits or
tastes. On returning homo ho at once
resumed the harness and wont to work
again with unabated zeal, energy and suc
cess. At leugth, after snob protracted
And uuvaryiug success as had blessed him
in nil his worldly aims aud aspirations,
bin very prosperity seemed to have the ef
fect of turning his grateful thoughts
heavenward and fixing them ou that sub
lime duty which is paramount to nil oth
ers—tho duty which man owes to his
God. As the mighty weight and magni
tude of that duty became more and more
realized by him, ho was led to withdraw
from this contentious forensic arena,
and dovoto himself to cultivating
iu retirement those undying germs
of early piety, which parental lessons slid
examples had not ceased to sow iu his
young heart from the first dawning to the
mature development of his mind. After
thorough And deeply conscientious study
and preparation, he oublicly united him
self with that branch of tho Church in
which he had been boru and bred, and
soon became a bright aud shining light
there, giving himself
_ w up wholly to its
vice, ministering at its altars, proclaiming
its glad tidiugs, diffusing precious com
fort wherever ho wout, not oirly l>y his
high religious encouragement aud edify
ing conversation, but also by his abun
dant charities and incessant unpaid labors.
For having an ample income of his owu,
he applied himself aud all his time to
Heaveu’s work at his owu sole cost, and,
like tho grand apostolic Wesley, not uu-
frequently stinted himself, that he might
goeH on without them. Twenty-one short
years more, and who will fill the seats
now occupied ? They, perhaps, thought
they were necessary to tho world, as per
haps we do now ; but they, in solemn
procession, have gone to that bourne
whence no truveler returns. They wran
gled und fought, made bad charges
against each other the saute as now. Tho
living procession is moving to the same
end. The lesson taught is that we should
contend with all tho zeal possible to gain
the cause entrusted to us, and at the same
time cultivate kind and courteous rela
tions. Judge Wellborn wns a true frieod
aud an honest man. Homo fifteen years
ngo he abandoned the practice of lavs', of
which profession be was an ornament,
aud commenced preaching tho Gospel of
Christ. Of this portion of his life he
left to others to speak. [Tho above is a
very iinperfoot report ]
COL. MODLEY,
of Hamilton, iu substance said, he hod
first met the deceased by his father’s
firoside. Tho speaker came to the bar
when the deceased was Judge of this Cir
cuit. He added his testimony to Hint of
Judgo Ingram of his universal kindness
to the youug members of tho profession.
It was his good fortune to be under the
ministry of the deceased. Tho speaker
knew no one was so universally charitable
and generous. He hunted out the orphan,
tho widow and the destitute iu such a way
as to let it remain unknown who was tho
benefactor. Many widows in Harris
county owe their homes to him. He was
especially kind in this respect just after
tho war. Ho was a faithful, zealous pas
tor, paid most of tho expenses of tho
churches^ under his charge, and would
accept no salary. The lessons taught by
hiR life should be heeded by all.
JOHN TEABOPY, ES(J.,
said ho was about the only one of the
lawyers left who eutorod tho practice just
us Judgo Wellborn was leaving it. His
conduct as n lawyer and character as a in .n
impressed tho speaker most favorably.
He was possessed of tho strictest honor in
his profession, and left it without a spot
1 his gown.
ADDRESS OF MAJOR B. J. MOSES.
I seldom speak on these occasions, but
God who knows my heart, kuows that I
could not he silent if I would. As my
brother Iugruiu says, a good name is bet
tor than precious ointment. Proclaim it l
Tho lifo of MarshnllJJ. Wellborn is being
reviewed to-day. His praises have been
poured forth in* just ami eloquent eulogy.
Now let his accusers come—envy, malice,
hatred, calumny, come forth ! Ilis friends
ask not the charity of s.looco. These
envenomed shafts poised high in air, fall
harmless to tho earth. The rigid limbs,
the lifeless corpse, the dumb lips, the
flashing eye, now sealed in i»s eternal
sleep, offer no resistance; but ho ro lived
thut liis memory panoplied in honor dofios
assault.
Emulate his example ! Live a life so
pure that when tho final summons comes,
though, as in his case, you be stricken
down in tho midst of your labors without
oven a moment’s admonitiou, you may be
able at the final hour to say : I lived not
for earth, the richos I strived to accumu
late were these—on earth, the approving
voice of conscience, and here, nt the
throue, the commendation of tho eternal
God, at whose footstool I now npp. ar.
Compare a life thus culminating to that
of oue whose days woro spent in the
acruinitiation of worldly goods, and who,
at life’s close, exchanges all his treasured
wealth, for the humble habiliments of
the grave, aud has nothing to poiut hack
to in his past lifo but earthly riches won
from widow’s tears and orphan’s cries, or
merciless exactious from his fellow man.
Ponder upou tho coutrast, aud tell mo
why it is that such exaiup’es have not s
greater tendency to soften aud purity the
huninu heart.
Life is but a span. Eternity is so en
during as to defy man’s finite compre
hension, and yet such a Iobkou ns this life
teaches will be forgotteu ere you gilded
sun has set, and with the breaking dawn
we will begin anew the struggle atnl the
coutest, the bitterness and the strife that
cate, appeared for the plaintiff. These
desks were occupied by Walter Colquitt,
Alfred Iverson, Wiley William*, Grigsby
E. Thom is, Alexander McDougald—each
distinguished for talents that gave them
nu individuality of character and lifted
them above the ordinary practitioners,
few years in the cycle of time has rolled
away, and where are they'mow ? All, all
passed from life to death—not a vestige
of all that life remains. Their very bones
ore this, have become disintegrated and
mingled with the earth from whence they
sprung. Huch is life, fleeting life. Take
the lesson to your hearts my friends, and
learn to live like him whose death we
mourn. Live remembering
That virtuous odors overthrow
The force of all the winds that blow,
Aii'l who 80 lives In truth and grace
All realms affirm his resting place.
Even tho young men who, on that day,
were entering into life have been gathered
with the dead. I recall bnt two that I
then saw in this court-house who now sur
vive. These two had already made their
matk among the intellectual giants with
which they had to cope. Their
eyes were bright with inteileet
and ambition, they bore themselves
proudly, as full of promise as of hope.
They still live full of honor and of years
hut how changed. Their forms are bent,
their brows are furrowed, their heads are
silvered o’er with age. Life is ho longer
in the foreground, it is all in the past,
demonstrating its vanity and its illusions.
They steud upon the precipice and beyond
what vision meets their gaze? The open
ing grave and an unknown and undefined
future.
Iu one you doubtless recognize our ju
dicial brother, with his intellect ripened
and nndiuuued, who has administered
justice with such iute.ligence and impar
tiality as to win the merit of praise from
his political opponents.
Iu the other, Henry L. Benning, bowed
and worn by his‘ country's wrongs, the
embodiment of personal integrity and
genoruons impulsfs, as full of honor as he
is of years. Except myself, these two
are the only survivors of that day’s scene.
I, too, am admonished tbat life’s glnss
has nearly run. Compared with what I
then was, I stnad upon the shoal of time
a shattered wreck, like Leah, of old, bid
ing the peltiog of tbe pitiless storm.
We three, and yon the Nestor of the
his profession, here two of ns alone sur
vive.
We are particularly admonished that
our time is short, and that oar coarse is
nearly run. Generation succeeds genera
tion as waves of the sea succeed each
other, and the lesson impressed by the
poet-warrior-king of Israel on his assem
bled people at four seore years on the eve
of his deparure, is now again announced
to us All; “We are sojonrnersas were our
fathers: we speud onr days as a shadow,
and there is none abiding.”
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
The resolutions were adopted by a
unanimous vote.
AFFECTING.
During tbe delivery Jndge Johnson wbb
affected to tears, aud read with difficulty.
This is cot to be wondered at, for tbe de
ceased was the seuior of the firm, Well
horn, Johnson A Sloan, which existed for
many years, and of which Judge Johnson
the only survivor. The junior partner,
nephew of Judge Johnson, UeuL-Col.
Tom Hloan, one of the most promising
young lawyers of the State, was killed at
Gettysburg while at the head of his Geor
gia regiment.
During the delivering of the addresses,
in the room, which was filled with law
yers and spectators, the only sound which
broke the grave like silence were the voices
tbe speakers. While Judge Ingram
and Major Moses were speaking eyes not
used to weeping were moistened with
tears.
It was a fitting tribute to a noble man,
whom all loved and honored.

JUDGE J. T. YOU,
of the County Court, added his testimony
to tho CUristisn character of thedeceased.
ilo ouco remarked, iu conversation with a
friend, “I have lost the power of hating
any one.’’ All know the cause which he
assigned for thus overcoming his passions
—tins religion of Christ. The speaker tn
dorsed the preceding remarks as to the
ability and high moral worth of Judge
Wellborn.
. JUDGE JAMES JOHNSON,
from tho bench, read tho following:
ADDRESS OF JUDOE JAMES JOHNSON.
IIliving sustained relations of intimacy
with the deceased, and occupying my
present jKisition, it is but proper that I
should pay at least a word of tribute
to the memory of a departed friend.
When onr ncquaiutnuce was first formed
lie was the preHidiug Judge of this Cir
cuit. lie was elocted to the office over
determined aud fierce opposition. His
friends were proud of him and his sue
cess. Jlis triumph, however, did not
make him giddy or mislead him iu the
performance of the functions of
office. Tlie central aud oontroliog pur
pose with him was to admidister law', and
when he laid aside the ermine it was
w'ithout spot or blemish. About the time
of the expiration of his commission ho
entorod upon and engaged in the business
of planting; not, however, abandoning
his profession. This ho continued for
severul years, and so successfully as to
have accumulated what in onr day and
section might with propriety be called
fortune.
Ilis thirst also for knowledge about this
time was ardent, and his ambition for
sitiou and power infused itself into
actiouH and projects. Europe was visited
nud books, literary aud miscellaneous,
were bought, that additions might be
made to lus then acquirements, and that
his claims to merit might be enhanced.
The political party to which he was
tbon attached held him in such esteem
that he was solectod by them to be their
candidate iu a District of doubtful result.
He passed through a heavy canvass, was
elected and served his District and State
ns a Representative, during one Congress.
This position was not held by him for
such a length of time os to enable him to
become conspicuous in tho deliberations
of tbat body. In securing tho place he
was subjected to assault—as are all
who prefered to adhere to the suggestions
of principle rather than adopt tbe ever
chaugiug policies of a party seeking to
obtain power and place. Having return
ed troiu Congress with credit to himself
and satisfaction to his friends, he entered
with fresh energy and renewed vigor
upon the practice of the law, and while
thus engaged I became associated with
him and my nephew. He was the eldest
ami leadiug member. Our relations were
intimate. Our business was pretty large
ami as successful ami lucrative ns could
have been expected. His constitution
w as fecbln but ho attained unto greater
years than wns anticipated by himself
friends. He never married, but when
life commenced to decline bo then re
gretted that he had permitted the
opportunity to pass, and that he
placed beyond tho reach of tho sympa
thies and endoarmeuts of that re
lution.
His life was not a failure, but eontrary
to the geuoral result, he had bee success
ful beyond tho measure of the lot appor
tioned to men. Onu thing he had not yet
attained unto. Happiness was sought by
him in mental culture, but he found in
neither wealth nor power nor place
the position for which his heart
yearned. He had wants that these
could not satisfy. He had yearn
ings—moral, spiritual yearnings. Spirit
ual wants that ca-led for spiritual loud.
Tho source of supply for these wants
the soul was manifested to him. He
made haste, yielded, and sought rest and
refuge iu God.
